Nothing new here. Also, why the hell have all the screen shots only been on Namek and the Rocky Area...? Maybe they're hiding all the best content until it's released?

Or maybe those are the only stages that have been completed/are in the game (take your pick).

I hope the latter isn't true, lemme tell ya...

It's already been said that there are 10 stages, I'm pretty sure.

New screenshot (character select screen! )

Wow, Goku looks pretty perfect here. His hair is a flawless representation of his anime counterpart.

I gotta say though, Vegeta looks less like the "real" Vegeta than in the Sparking! games... blast.

New scan of the PlayStation 3 button-layout for the game

The guard button is now R1? Hmm... interesting. Circle is now "Special Move", eh? I wonder what that means...

I'm more intrigued by that sphere in the background. I can see Earth and Snake Way, could it have something to do with the story mode?

Whoa, you're right -- I think those are the stages you can select after you choose your character... this is the demo, and it just has story mode. I think its safe to say that this is confirmation of a King Kai's Planet stage!

@#$%^& FINALLY! We get King kai's planet ! I'm alright with the buttons, you could always change that in the past.

You know, the stage was playable in Super DBZ...

LeprikanGT · Post by **LeprikanGT** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 6:30 pm

Yeah I remember is was an option..I dont right off -hand remember playing it. But that wasnt really a buig open environment.

I wish they would fuse BT3 and B1 together where you could go to OTHER stages....but seamlessly or with a 'power knock back' or something.

Say you are fighting on the lookout and you get knocked into it...and crash through the floor and into the HBTC....or any other part of earth to another of King Kais planet ALLLLLLLLL the way down snake way to the check in station.

The problem in this game with Kaio's Planet is that the planet itself is small, so the stage would be as big as Kami's Palace or Freeza's Spaceship stages. Now that would be all fine and dandy, except that it's a planet, it's round and it has gravity, now I guess we could ignore that fact that you would be supposed to stand even if you were upside down, the main problem is, it's round and small, how much space will you have to stand on?

Maybe it's just me, but that character selection screen looks like shit. Also, it looks like the transformations are separate characters? As Burst Limit was Budokai 1 for PS3, this appears to be Sparking 1 for PS3.

Oi. I think you're right. And I agree... the character select screen does look like shit. I mean, that's so not Sparking!, it looks like a cheap Budokai 3 character select screen ripoff. :-/

Assuming there aren't in-game transformations, when the next game is advertised, I'll bet you they'll say "Featuring in-game transformations!" and there shall echo a collective yawn throughout the DBZ gamer community.

With every new screen shot, instead of winning me over, my interest is waning. The select screen and character models really do look like shit, and they're throwing the same moves at us over and over. This'll be the first console DBZ game since Budokai that I'll most likely skip.

omegacwa · Post by **omegacwa** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:26 pm

This might be the first main console game I skip. Seriously, if there aren't grandiose transformations at the very least, then I could care less about this game. Might as well pay super butoden 2 on SNES.

LeprikanGT · Post by **LeprikanGT** » Wed Jun 03, 2009 8:36 pm

Or.......you could wait until we have some aside from pics of a demo. Since its a demo and all. Remember Budokai 1 and Sparking? The first in a series...give it time.

I'm still not really impressed with it.

I mean, aside from that smashing-people-into-the-wall, and the fact that they have ssj haircolor correct this time, there's nothing that really makes it stand out against the other dbz games in recent memory.

I dunno; maybe it'll come out with some amazing, (super) exciting info later on, but for now I'm just kinda placid on this game.

I enjoyed the music in this trailer.

I really like the character select screen. Son looks...amazing. I also liked the commercial. The graphics have really gone North. This may be a great start of for the Sparking series on PS3.

I just noticed if you look in the dragon balls to the left of Goku and to the right of Vegeta you can see that they are actually the level select options.

It appears the Kaio's planet IS playable.
